Homelab tinkerers are essentially a non-market. They barely want to pay for the cheapest commodity hardware. Tens of individuals would buy Oxide racks or theoretical microcomputers with their own money.
- sgarland 2mo agoUnfortunately yes. I would realistically pay about $10K for a MicroOxide rack, because that’s what I can justify spending on what is essentially a hobby. I know that’s never, ever going to happen.

I've conservatively dropped $10k on my homelab so far, and have cobbled together a passable VM host/network/home-auto system in a half-rack. I would happily have paid more for an integrated (hypothetical) MicroOx! As fun as it is to play with cage nuts and to crimp cables, I love doinking around with a functional system even more. There must be literally dozens of us out there...
